Kanguru Solutions
Safeguarding Sensitive Data with Industry-Leading Storage Solutions

In the swiftly advancing IT security realm, companies frequently find themselves in a defensive stance, constantly deflecting a stream of cyber threats and data breaches. This ongoing battle is largely driven by the need to support vast user bases still using legacy data storage systems that were not designed with security as the primary focus. The widespread adoption of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies and the proliferation of products with untrusted supply chains make the situation even more critical, particularly for heavily regulated sectors like government, healthcare, and finance.

Kanguru Solutions rises to meet these challenges with a more proactive stance.

Amid a backdrop of heightened data vulnerability, Kanguru Solutions emerges as a leader in secure data storage. An impressive legacy, spanning three decades, has made Kanguru’s name synonymous with data security excellence.

It specializes in a range of protected storage solutions, including top-tier, hardware-encrypted USB drives, hard drives, and solid-state drives. All these devices are integrated with secure remote management solutions, which not only bolster their functionality but enhance oversight capabilities.

Kanguru also specializes in Blu-ray and DVD burners with secure controller-level firmware, and flexible, stand-alone duplicators for NVMe, SSD, HDD, DVD, BD, and USB devices.

Many of Kanguru’s encrypted devices are also secured with FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria EAL 2+ certifications, reflecting Kanguru’s staunch compliance with stringent security regulations. Adherence to the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) makes Kanguru products ideal for government purchases and ensuring certain procurement and security compliance regulations are met.

“Our dedication to quality and security can be seen in the fact that we manufacture and conduct the final assembly of all our products in a secure U.S.- based facility. It is a significant aspect for many of our valued customers who trust us for secure storage solutions,” says Nate Cote, Executive VP.

The company extends its offerings to a range of unencrypted yet secure data storage solutions as well. These devices are integrated with features such as convenient physical write-protect switches, digitally-signed secure firmware, and biometric fingerprint scanners to protect against attempts by malicious actors.

Device Management Has Never Been Easier

The scenario is familiar for most organizations; a small contingent of IT specialists are tasked with supporting the needs of hundreds or thousands of users and their various endpoint devices, including data storage solutions.This arrangement often complicates oversight. Kanguru’s offerings streamline this substantial task through its Kanguru Remote Management Console (KRMC), a remote management platform that adeptly manages devices operating outside the limits of traditional network boundaries.

“Our commitment is to streamline, not complicate, the IT professionals’ already demanding workload, Cote says, summing up its value proposition. “Bearing that in mind, we aim to shoulder the burden of security with KRMC, allowing teams to confidently advance to other projects.”

The KRMC platform empowers administrators to easily deploy, provision and oversee encrypted drives throughout the organization, making it an essential tool for fortifying device security in today’s dynamic cyber threat landscape.

IT security teams can seamlessly set up global templates against standardized security policies, ensuring strict compliance across the board. They can also dictate the specific behaviors and provisioning of the storage drives with ease.

Organizations have the flexibility to choose how they use KRMC—via Kanguru’s secure hosted platform or through their own secure server with KRMC On-Premise. Both approaches provide reasonably priced, subscriptionbased comprehensive administrative control for tracking, monitoring and managing Defender encrypted drives.
KRMC, along with Kanguru’s secured storage products, is particularly valuable for security-minded organizations and government bodies, with special relevance in sectors such as manufacturing, utilities, healthcare and law enforcement, where stringent security measures are non-negotiable.

Tailored Client Engagement for Diverse Needs

Using a global network of trusted distributors and resellers, Kanguru adopts a customer-centric approach to client engagement. The onboarding process begins with a thorough understanding of the customer’s environment, requirements and channel partners to tailor solutions that meet current needs and align with broader infrastructure and security initiatives.

This is especially valuable from an endpoint protection perspective, where Kanguru’s solutions and their easily configurable, flexible, granular settings make it easier for IT teams to integrate enterprise applications like CrowdStrike, McAfee, Sophos, or Endpoint Protector to effectively manage peripherals and network-connected devices, including Kanguru’s.

This cohesive approach streamlines operations and enhances security implementation, creating a strong and cost-effective protection layer across all levels. Meanwhile, Kanguru’s pre-sales and sales engineering teams answer queries, provide demonstrations and ensure a smooth pilot implementation.

A notable example of its impact is a recent project with a global company facing substantial penalties due to data breaches. Seamlessly aligning its onboarding approach with its endpoint integration strategy, Kanguru incorporated custom identifiers into various devices such as USB, flash and solid-state drives. Throughout this engagement, Kanguru’s remote management capabilities, backed by a global network of seasoned administrators, proved invaluable.

Thanks to Kanguru’s hosted application, the client transitioned from a passive security approach to actively managing worldwide policies. Internally, they gained a robust and scalable security infrastructure that prevented potential breaches and streamlined data storage device management. With many expert administrators efficiently overseeing thousands of devices, the success of this implementation echoed across the organization, exemplifying Kanguru’s ability to address complex security challenges and provide tailored solutions that resonate with diverse global enterprises. “Putting ourselves in the customer’s shoes, we ask, ‘What would I expect if I were the customer?’ We prioritize answering this question and remain committed to doing the right thing, focusing on short- and long-term goals,” says Cote.

The Next Wave of Visibility and Compliance Solutions

Kanguru has recently released hardware-encrypted FIPS-validated Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) drives. These high-speed internal self-encrypting drives are poised to replace traditional spinning drives and larger two-and-a-half-inch form factor SSDs.

While Kanguru primarily focuses on secure storage and remote management solutions, it also excels in duplication systems. As the industry transitions toward replacing traditional drives with the faster NVMe format, KanguruClone Duplicators will empower teams in efficiently provisioning, resizing and upgrading the drives. This streamlined process ensures the secure and safe disposal of outdated drives, enhancing overall administrative efficiency.

Along with the imminent launch of its FIPS-validated NVMe-based drives, a significant milestone, Kanguru is forging ahead with a strategic partnership. Teaming up with software company CIGENT, it aims to integrate innovative ransomware protection technologies into its NVMe drives. This collaboration represents a crucial step in updating the security posture of Kanguru’s offerings. The company is simultaneously expanding its capabilities to include data loss protection, providing security teams with enhanced visibility into user actions, file transfers and folder activities on their system.

These developments underline Kanguru’s commitment to staying at the forefront of the security landscape, providing its customers with forward-looking solutions that meet the evolving challenges of the digital era.
